A new national poll by Monmouth University released Monday put Hillary Clinton comfortably in the lead. On the eve of Election Day, Clinton has a 6-point advantage over Donald Trump among likely voters, 50 percent to 44 percent. Though Clinton's latest winning margin is far narrower than the 12-point lead she boasted in the same poll in mid-October, it's an improvement from the 4-point lead she held in September. The RealClearPolitics polling average shows Clinton 2.9 points ahead in the four-way race for the presidency.
Moreover, even voters who don't support Clinton are guessing she'll claim a victory on Election Day. Monmouth University reported that "regardless of who they support," a whopping 57 percent of likely voters said they think Clinton will win Tuesday. Only 28 percent are betting on Trump.
